Neurodiverse-city

Like cultural or gender diversity, neurodiversity is a reality, reflecting human variation — in this case, the spectrum of neurological difference. The Neurodiverse-City is an aspirational place where such variation thrives. Challenging ‘neurotypical’ assumptions, this program draws on the insights of our radically diverse population to explore the anxieties and comforts of the urban environment, and to create safe havens and relaxing spaces. Confronting the anxieties of the public at-large, it also questions why we are so uncomfortable with those who look different.

The Big Anxiety acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live, learn and work. We pay our respects to the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation and all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island elders, past and present.
